Mallorca, Spain ~ ****Latest Villa Discounts ~ Click Here ****

Away from the island's bustling capital Palma and the frenetic atmosphere of its nearby "high rise" resorts, a startling change of pace and scenery takes over. Fertile fields dotted with windmills turning lazily in the breeze, give way to rolling countryside covered in olive and almond groves punctuated by vineyards and small, sun-bleached villages. Mediaeval monasteries and castles perch quixotically atop pine clad mountains and look out over the azure sea that encircles the island's 400 km of beautiful coastline, most of which is surprisingly untouched by signs of mass tourism and remains virtually unknown to all but a few of Mallorca's many visitors.

With fabulous white sand beaches and historic towns, the north west of the island sits below the inspiring Tramuntana mountains. Here the island retains a leisurely atmosphere reminiscent of bygone days with many small villages virtually untouched by tourism, where you can find a sunny Church square to join the locals in watching the world go by.

In the south, pretty harbour sides and sophisticated yachting resorts hide in sandy coves protected by pine clad headlands. Inland, below splendid monasteries perched on lofty mountain tops, life still beats to the rhythm of rural Mallorcan life.

With 6 Michelin starred restaurants, bodegas producing quality wines, walking and cycle routes and world class golf courses, Mallorca is amongst the most sophisticated destinations of the Med.

On our website you will find seaside apartments and a selection of individual Villa with pools ranging from centuries old farmhouse to neat little Villas near the beach

"We travelled by  rail and ferry. I would like to recommend this as a really enjoyable way to get there and although it took a long time, we stopped off and had a day in Barcelona on the way home."

Where we go

Puerto Pollenca 

With fabulous white sand beaches stretching around a huge sweep of bay, sheltered by the wild and rugged headland of Cabo Formentor, Puerto Pollenca magically retains an unruffled, leisurely atmosphere reminiscent of bygone days, when it was just a small fishing port. A remarkable feature of the town and one that lingers long in the memory, is its elegant tree lined promenade fringed by shops, restaurants and open air cafes, where a lazy stroll in the evening soon becomes something of a ritual and pleasantly sharpens the appetite. For the more active, there's naturally a wide choice of water sports available as well as horse riding, tennis and golf and, if you take a trip across the headland to the nearby seaside village of Cala San Vicente, you'll find a little rocky cove for snorkelling and two lovely sandy bays.

''Great accomodation, nice service prior to holiday, would definitely use again. Thanks''

Pollenca 

El Pont Roma, the roman bridge on the edge of the town is living evidence of Pollenca's Roman origins and subsequently each generation has left its mark without overwhelming this delightful small town. In this way, Pollenca has learned to accept and adapt to tourism without losing its soul and where, these days, at the vibrant Sunday morning market spilling out over the Placa Major, locals and tourists alike mingle between the wide varieties of stalls.

Wandering through the narrow cobbled streets you will find many lovely old churches plus numerous small art galleries and handicraft shops. A pause for coffee and a pastry is recommended before climbing the tree lined Calvari steps  ...More about Pollenca >>

"We were delighted with our holiday'

Campanet

Situated on the edge of the green and wooded foothills of the Tramuntana Mountains, the village of Campanet's one claim to fame is its amazing limestone caves, said to house the longest stalactite in the world. It also makes a good starting point for an exhilarating drive to the mountain top Monastry at Lluc via the picturesque village of Caimari.

Campanet has no less than three bakeries, as well as a well-stocked supermarket and a delicatessen. The sunny church square has a number of simple bars and small shops and it's a pleasant spot to linger over a morning coffee and croissant before heading off for the day. Of an evening there are also two or three bars that serve authentic tapas or simple meals, but the village has surprisingly remained a peaceful backwater, virtually untouched by tourism.  ...More about Campanet >>

''We had a fantastic holiday. The accommodation and setting was perfect. If anything it exceeded expectations''

Santa Margalida 

Although a mere 7kms from the resort hotels and glorious sandy beaches strung between Alcudia and Can Picafort, the small, gentille town of Santa Margalida, is just far enough removed from the coast to remain off the beaten track as far as tourists are concerned. As a consequence the town has remained in a sleepy time warp, happily servicing the local farming community and really letting its hair down twice a year for its Saints Days. The first, on August 15th is the festival to the Virgin Mary heralded by fireworks followed by the Fiesta of La Beata on the first Sunday of September when all sorts of exciting mayhem takes place!

The old main square, with tables and chairs scattered beneath shady plane tress, is impressively spacious with the usual selection of tapas bars, as well as a genuine pizzeria and an upmarket coffee shop offering cakes, tartes and sugary ensaimadas. ...More about Santa Margalida >>

Patterson family - Aug 2007
''What a quaint town Santa Margalida is! Beach is fantastic at Son Serra de Marina (no water sports and no sunbeds) truly unspoilt.''

Cala D'Or and Felantix 

Less than an hours drive from Palma Airport, in the south-east corner of Mallorca, the neighbouring towns of Cala D'Or & Felanitx are like chalk and cheese, they couldn't be more different.The seaside town of Cala D'Or is blessed with seven idyllic sandy coves protected by rocky pine clad headlands and washed by a turquoise sea. Not surprisingly over the years Cala D'Or has grown into a sophisticated villa and apartment resort where appealing precincted plazas, provide excellent shops and restaurants as well as open air bars and lively night spots to suit all ages and tastes. Down at The Port, Cala D'Or's cosmopolitan marina, further numerous restaurants and waterside bars provide convenient victualing for a sleek array of thoroughbred sailing yachts, plus raffish, opulent motor-cruisers, dripping with displays of their owner's wealth. ...More about Cala D'Or / Felanitx >>

''We will definitely be booking with you again. Thank you''

 Sineu and  Lloret de Vistalegry

The erstwhile capital of the old Kingdom of Mallorca, the small hill top town of Sineu sits in the very centre of the island, 30 mins drive from Palma, 25 mins from the North coast and not a lot more from the south. This historic market town in the heart of rolling fertile countryside makes an ideal destination for those looking for a holiday well away from the tourist heartlands.

The town square sits at the foot of the centuries old church of Santa Maria where, on Wednesday mornings the most colourful market of the island fills every corner and spills out into the narrow surrounding streets. You’ll find everything here from antiques to animals and fresh vegetables to entertainers. The rest of the week, Sineu reverts to a decidedly sleepy place with cafes spilling out onto the streets and an excellent choice of restaurants (of particular note are its cellar restaurants). Its shady, narrow streets are made for exploring.

Just 5 mins drive from Sineu, Lloret occupies its own mound in the centre of the fig growing ..More about Sineu/Lloret de Vistalegry >>

S. Oswald and family - Ca'n Galeri - Oct 2009

"I have recently returned from Mallorca where I met up with my daughter, Amanda and family (who live in Germany) at C'an Galeri near Felanitx. Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the finca and the peace and quiet in that area. It is amazing in this day and age that you can still get away from it all in Mallorca. It was interesting to chat to Catalina, who came to clean the finca and to find out that it actually belongs to her family! We loved the beaches at Cala Santanyi and Cala Llombards, as well as the towns of Felanitx and Santanyi and their markets. The finca was simply but adequately furnished. We enjoyed our barbecues in the covered barbecue area, and were surprised it was warm enough most nights to sit outside for our meal. Thank you for providing us with a lovely place for our holiday. We are already looking at your website for next year's choice! "
